Overview of RM variants with 1.6 mm gauge

• 60 DL (this model) – for guide bars up to approx. 38–40 cm

Rapid Micro RM vs. Rapid Super RS – Which chain is right for me?

The Rapid Micro RM (semi-chisel) offers smooth cutting action and is more robust under changing conditions and with dirty wood. The Rapid Super RS (full-chisel) delivers higher cutting speeds in clean, fresh wood – but is more demanding in terms of maintenance.

Compatibility

The STIHL RM chain with 3/8" / 1.6 mm / 60 DL is compatible with STIHL chainsaws such as the MS 271, MS 362 and other models with the appropriate guide bar and 1.6 mm gauge. Please check the guide bar size and number of drive links before purchasing.
